Ballarat Race 5 - Pink Diamond Veterans Ht1

BORACAY STORM (5) has a strong record this trip with 13 wins and 12 placings from 31 starts. Recorded a 4 length win (25.28) in a Mix 5 last time at Q Lakeside. With a clean break looks hard to beat. NACHO PROBLEM (2) missed the frame last time, finishing 7th (25.75) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Great record here at the trip having never missed the frame including one win. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from three starts. Worth another chance. BUCK SHINES (1) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at Shepparton over 450m behind Paw Welkes (26.27) in a Grade 5. Should be about the money. PLAY LAB (7) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished last on May 4 over 450m at Shepparton behind Paw Welkes beaten 11 lengths (26.27) in a Grade 5. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Geelong over 400m in 22.65. Followed that up with a minor placing over 390m at Warrnambool at Grade 5 six days ago. Looks a solid hope.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 457m at Q Lakeside in a handy 25.28 beating Daysea's Shelly. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 390m at this track in a handy (22.13), beating I'm Too Messy. Will find this a bit tougher, would be better placed in something easier.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (22.30) at Warrnambool over 390m. Found one better last time. Looks well placed and is worth following up.
